Everything You Need to Know Before Committing to Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto#
If you are looking for a series that blends absurdity with effortless cool, Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto is a title you should have on your radar. But before you dive in, you might be wondering if the story reaches a conclusion or if you’ll be left hanging.
What is Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto About?#
The series follows Sakamoto, a high school student who is the absolute pinnacle of coolness. While he spent his middle school days as a gopher for his upperclassmen, he has entered high school as a figure of fascination. Everything Sakamoto does—no matter how mundane—is perceived by those around him as a form of high art.
If you enjoy high-concept comedy and the relaxed pacing of the slice-of-life genre, this is the perfect show for you. You can watch the anime on Prime Video to see his legendary poise in action.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When asking “is the anime finished?”, the answer depends on what you are looking for. The anime is an adaptation of the original manga. While the animated series provides plenty of entertainment, viewers seeking the full scope of the story or more adventures with the unflappable Sakamoto will find that the source material is the place to go.
For those who want to ensure they’ve seen everything produced for the screen, be sure to look for the unaired 13th episode, which was added to streaming services like Crunchyroll to round out the experience. If you’ve finished the show and can’t get enough, you can buy the manga to continue the journey.
